Lite Beer Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 Thaksin's Son Won't Run In Election: Jarupong BANGKOK: -- Chairman of the Pheu Thai Party has dismissed rumour that the son of former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra will run in the next general election.Throughout the week many social network sites, particularly of the anti-government groups, have reported that Mr. Panthongtae Shinawatra will be on the ticket of Pheu Thai′s Party List in the election, which is expected to be held on 2 February 2014.But Mr. Jarupong Rueangsuwan, the chairman of Pheu Thai Party who also serves as acting Interior Minister, firmly denied the rumour in a press conference today.He also insisted that the party is looking forward for the election, but added that it is depending on the Office of The Election Commission of Thailand (ECT) whether the election will take place at all; anti-government protesters have demanded that the ECT postpone the election until their "reforms" of Thai politics are implemented first.“Our interested member who wish to join the list have submitted their application forms, including the acting Prime Minister”, said Mr. Jarupong, “The party commission will reselect the candidate and I will review the list. The whole process should be done by 22 December”.He also denied the involvement of Mr. Thaksin in deciding the party list.“Let me be clear: Mr. Thaksin does not interfere with the candidate selection process. I and Mr. Thaksin have not discussed about the issues," said Mr. Jarupong.He added, “Every representative has equal rights, including late submission candidates from House no.109 faction, House no. 111 faction and the Neutral Democratic Party (Mashima Party)”.However, he warned that if the protesters managed to prevent the submission of the party list on 23 December at Bangkok Youth Centre (Thai-Japan) in Dindaeng district as they have threatened, the country’s image may be harmed in the eyes of world community.“Many journalists from both local and international agents will be there, and they may report about the event. Other countries may learn that there are some people in Thailand disrespecting the country’s rule of law”, Mr. Jarupong warned, adding that the caretaker Prime Minister will be there to support the representatives.He also downplayed the incident when an anti-government protester slipped through PM Yingluck Shinawatra′s security details as she tours the northeastern region and blew a whistle at her yesterday."The protesters have the right to do so," Mr. Jarupong said, "People are allowed to have different ideas".He also suggested that the Prime Minister does not need to enhance her security team and believes that many people still support her.

rubl Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 Now this is a rumour I have problems with believing. I'm sure our dear Oaf realises that being a facebook warrior is much safer than being an MP candidate touring the country side. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David48 Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 WOW ... judging from the photo, Taksin's Son hair has gotten long (it's a photo of Yinluck). At least they could have used a photo of Panthongtae Shinawatra and not his Auntie ... That said, she is easier on the eye then him, or his Father.

The big question is do they allow Mr. Jarupong Rueangsuwan to interfere with it. I think not 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why not go for the son? Yingluck may not be too bright, but at least she managed to obtain a Masters abroad. Oak his son, on the other hand, failed at Thammasart and then was found to be in possession of a piece of paper in his top pocket for his final exam at Ramkhamhaeng.! Dumb and dumber, the better for Thaksin. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bombax Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 “Let me be clear: Mr. Thaksin does not interfere with the candidate selection process. I and Mr. Thaksin have not discussed about the issues," said Mr. Jarupong. Sorry Jarupong, if you or Mr. Thaksin told me you each had a nose and two eyes, I wouldn't believe you. You guys have zero credibility. Here's a conversation which was overheard by Thaksin's 300 baht/day maid yesterday: Oak: daddy. I want to be a politician like you. Thaksin: Well, you have to get elected, to do that. Oak: Ok, no problem. Auntie Y is making an election soon, I'll be a politician that way. Thaksin: No son. Not now, you're not ready. Oak: But daddy, I want to. Thaksin: You must wait. Now is not the time. Oak: But dad, I reallyreallyreallyreallyreallyreallyreallyreally want to be a politician soon. Thaksin: Son, you're not done yet with being a kid. Oak: You became a politician and became rich. I want to do the same. Thaksin: You already are rich, Oak. Anything you want, I will buy it for you. Oak: Ok, I'll wait. But you can't always tell me what to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JRSoul Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 I'm not sure of the attributes required to make the PTP party list, but he seems to have, or lack as appropriate, most of those required. From Yingluk and Chalerm to Weng and Korkaew, as nice a bunch of inmates as ever escaped a ward for the criminally insane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dumb and dumber, the better for Thaksin. Yes and remember the Deputy President at Ramkamheng Uni said he had done nothing wrong as the paper was a personal matter and even if it had been exam related cheating wasn't serious ! Lots of adverse reaction at the time and that was about it I think. Nothing is being said about his other Auntie, does anyone have an update ? Last I heard she, her husband and Mr. T's daughters had gone to London but that was a couple of weeks ago. I think there was a red shirt demonstration In Chiang Mai more recently demanding she be appointed to the local tourist board but am happy to be corrected.

So perhaps the Big Boss 'discusses' the party-list with the party commission who select the candidates, prior to it being 'reviewed', by the party-chairman who says he himself hasn't discussed it with the party-owner ? Or perhaps potential-candidates visit Dubai/Singapore/Hong-Kong to take the waters, instead ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
